Conditions to temporarily exit the 5 mph (8 km/h) road speed limit inducement
First engine restart: At the first engine restart, the engine returns to the 25% torque reduction until
proper DEF quality evaluation occurs. If poor DEF quality is detected during the next monitoring cycle
then the 8 km/h (5 mph) speed limitation will resume after vehicle is stationary for 20 minutes.
After the second engine restart, Premium Tech Tool is required to exit the 5 mph (8 km/h) RSL.
With Premium Tech Tool: Invoke 25% torque reduction until proper DEF quality evaluation occurs. If
poor DEF quality is detected during the next monitoring cycle then the 8 km/h (5 mph) speed limitation
will resume after vehicle is stationary for 20 minutes.
Repeating poor DEF quality within 40 hours since correction will resume the inducement stage.
If correction occurs during road speed limitation, repeating poor DEF quality will invoke immediate 25%
engine torque reduction, then 5 mph (8 km/h) road speed limitation upon vehicle stationary state of 20
minutes.
